Can leader dots be customized?
I'm using Word 2003 on Windows XP.
Hi, everyone, Is it possible to customize the appearance of leader dots in the tabs of a given Style? In our template, we removed leader dots from our generated lists and now some people want them back. Our designers would like to investigate alternatives to the traditional dots--they'd like to look into using smaller and lighter colored dots or a very thin rule. I can't see how to customize that in Word, though. Is it possible? |

You can do this manually but not as part of a style. Select the tab
character and apply the desired formatting. -- Suzanne S.

If it can't be part of a style, then we can't use customized leaders. (This is for a template that will be used by people with varying proficiency in Word, so we have to minimize the amount of manual formatting.) Thanks again for your help. |
